World COPD Day is observed to raise awareness about the chronic inflammatory lung condition and make sure that COPD sufferers, or people who could potentially suffer from COPD, have access to the care and information that they need to manage their condition well.
COPD referred as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is of two types:
1) Chronic Bronchitis
2) Emphysema
Chronic Bronchitis is characterised by cough with expectoration of sputum for 3 months in a year for 2 consecutive years.
Emphysema is characterised by progressive shortness of breath. The disease is chiefly caused by tobacco smoking, biomass fuel inhalation, environmental pollution and genetic progenity. It is an irreversible and progressive disease. It is diagnosed by pulmonary function test. The main aim of the treatment of COPD is to alleviate the symptoms and improve the quality of life. The treatment comprises using antibiotics, bronchodilators, steroids in severe disease and pulmonary rehabilitation. Exacerbations of COPD can be reduced by pneumococcal vaccine. Prevention of COPD includes quitting tobacco smoking and avoid biomass fuel exposure
Tips to manage COPD symptoms in cold weather:
“COPD can be prevented by refraining from tobacco smoking and avoiding biomass fuel exposure. The disease can also be kept under control by compliance to medication and pneumococcal vaccination” says Dr E Ravinder Reddy, Senior Pulmonologist, Kamineni Hospital, Hyderabad.
The observation of World COPD Day is to raise awareness and disclose COPD as an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Additionally, patients with newly-diagnosed COPD need appropriate guidance.
